……
Shuguang's gaze swept over Li Yuan's (Li Yuan's) level and five-dimensional attributes, which were far superior to the other four players, and finally settled on the column at the bottom of the report.
[Talent] Iron Bones (higher bone strength and stronger recovery ability)
"As expected, this person is very abnormal."
"At the same time, other players are still at level 0, while he has already leveled up to level 3."
"Moreover, his strength, agility, physique, perception, and intelligence are all significantly higher than those of other players!"
"Could it be...?"
After pondering alone for a while, Shuguang decided to continue observing this player named Waifang Liyuan to see if he would bring any surprises later.
……
……
The world of Joy of Life.
Today is the day of the monthly poetry gathering held at the Prince Jing's Mansion, and the entire back garden of the mansion is bustling with activity.
Since the great war sixteen years ago, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been fragmented and weakened, and the western barbarians have fled far away, never daring to invade the border again.
The Qing Kingdom of that era was known for its strong martial spirit and abundant martial virtue.
But the long military career seemed to have worn His Majesty out, and he suddenly turned to composing poems.
As the saying goes, "When the superiors have a certain preference, the inferiors will surely follow suit."
The sons of ordinary noble families, having little free time, naturally developed a refined lifestyle, studying and interpreting books, as well as reading and writing poetry.
Therefore, the most popular activity in the capital of Qing Kingdom right now is not duels between martial arts masters, but the so-called "poetry gatherings".
Among these, the poetry gatherings at Prince Jing's residence and those convened by the Crown Prince were the two most lively events in the capital, held monthly without fail, rain or shine.
Countless talented scholars and poets from impoverished families have racked their brains trying to get in, hoping to become famous through a single poem or line, and thus gain a stepping stone to advancement.
The Crown Prince is fond of literature; this is something the whole world knows.
Although Prince Jing was the emperor's younger brother, he always aspired to be a wealthy and leisurely prince, so he did not have much power.
Comparing the two, those with clear objectives would naturally prefer to go to the Crown Prince's side.
However, the Prince Jing's residence is also quite good.
If one could obtain a single word of praise from the Prince Jing's heir, it would also be a great way to greatly enhance one's reputation.
Therefore, the Prince Jing's mansion would welcome many guests at each poetry gathering, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Today's poetry gathering is even more unusual.
The Prince Jing, whose status was extremely noble, actually came to the garden gate in person, seemingly to welcome a guest.
This aroused the curiosity of many people, who all wanted to see who this distinguished guest was that the crown prince would personally come out to greet him.
After a short wait, the answer was finally revealed: it turned out to be Fan Ruoruo, the eldest daughter of the Fan family, and Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Sinan, who had just arrived in the capital.
……
The back garden of the Prince's Mansion.
The poetry gathering was successfully held under bright sunshine, but it seemed that the atmosphere was not very good on either the men's or women's side.
Finally, after growing weary of the constant jeers and ridicule from others, Fan Xian immediately "composed" a poem:
"The wind is fierce, the sky is high, and the monkeys howl mournfully; the islet is clear, the sand is white, and the birds fly back. Boundless fallen leaves rustle down; the endless river rolls on. I am a traveler in autumn, often feeling sorrow; I am old and sick, and I climb the terrace alone. Hardships and sorrows have turned my temples white; in my decline, I have stopped drinking wine."
After stunning everyone with this poem and slapping those "talented scholars" in the face, he immediately got up and left the garden, leaving only a proud and aloof figure for everyone present.
……
Having drunk a bit too much at the poetry gathering, Fan Xian decided to go to the outhouse afterward and decided not to return to the back garden.
He then asked the servants beside him if he could take a look around.
After receiving an affirmative answer from the servant, he half-drunk and half-awake began to admire the sights alone in the palace.
As he walked, twisting and turning, he somehow ended up in a very quiet courtyard.
I had just stepped inside, wanting to see what was inside, when I suddenly heard a sharp shout: "Get out!"
The next moment, a strong gust of wind rushed towards me!
Cold sweat poured down Fan Xian's forehead in an instant, and he instantly sobered up.
Feeling the suffocating wind pressure, he gritted his teeth, crossed his arms in front of him, mustered his inner energy, and rushed forward while simultaneously retreating rapidly.
puff!
However, to Fan Xian's surprise, his all-out attack hit nothing at all; there was nothing in front of him.
This caused him immense discomfort, as the meridians within his body were damaged by the violent flow of true energy, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
However, he then realized that the strong wind was just to get him out of the courtyard. After he stepped back, the powerful true energy immediately dissipated.
"I was rash. Thank you for your mercy."
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Fan Xian felt much better and immediately cupped his hands in greeting towards the courtyard.
Immediately, he heard a young man's voice coming from inside the courtyard: "No one is allowed to enter this courtyard under normal circumstances. You should leave immediately."
"Yes, I will leave now." With that, Fan Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and immediately turned to leave.
In a secret room within the courtyard, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, slowly looking down at his palm, and coldly snorted, "Domineering true qi, indeed domineering!"
At this moment, between his two hands, there was a ball of true energy that did not belong to him. Even after being enveloped by his Burning Heaven True Energy, it still surged left and right, extremely violent.
Of course, no matter how powerful this true energy is, it is still not at the ninth rank, and it is like a tree without roots and water without a source, so it is naturally impossible for it to do anything to Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan did not discard or directly eliminate this domineering true energy. Instead, he used his own true energy to carefully sense and study it.
Finally, after several hours, he clenched his fist and completely vanished the domineering true energy.
"As expected of this domineering true energy, in terms of quality alone, it is even stronger than my Heaven-Burning True Energy..."
Back then, Ye Qingmei brought out three martial arts manuals from the temple: the Overbearing True Qi, the Heavenly Dao Heart Method, and the Nameless Sword Manual.
These three manuals were compiled by the temple after collecting countless martial arts techniques from all over the world and through repeated deductions.
It can be said that no martial art in the world can rival them.
"Only Fan Xian and Emperor Qing possess the domineering true qi, the Heavenly Dao Heart Sutra is with Ku He of Northern Qi, and the Nameless Sword Manual is with Si Gu Jian in Dongyi City..."
After studying the domineering true energy, Li Yuan understood that he had to obtain all three martial arts manuals from the temple!
Even if he doesn't cultivate it, he should still take a look at it, absorb its essence, and integrate it into his own martial arts so that he can go further in the path of nuclear energy martial arts in this world.
